If only I had voted it could have been 65,497. Lets hope the coaches vote for Biedrins the way they did with Andrei Kirilenko.
I hope that happens so they'll stop letting the fans vote in almost half the team. If you want the fans to have a vote, let them vote on the final 2 spots from a select group of players, like baseball does.
With David Stern trying to go global, I don't think there's any way he's going to take the fun away from China like that. It's not about the integrity of the sport, it's about... .
The fans shouldn't vote for All-Stars because the fans will be biased and only vote the most popular players in. Biedrins deserves to be an AS IMO. He'll most likely get voted in by the coaches.
Yao Ming (Hou) 529,290; Shaquille O’Neal (Pho) 227,273; Andrew Bynum (LAL) 155,689; Biedrins isn't gonna make it, even though he deserves it this year. Bynum is the sexy pick and Shaq is a lock
The Shaq vote makes about as much sense as the Grant Hill votes these past few years when he was out all year with his ankle rehab. Edit: well at least Shaq played more games, but how many all-stars do the Suns have? No wonder they made it in Phoenix. The home crowd won't mind. They'll probably even throw in Leandrinho Barbosa just for fun. Let Biedrins in! Oh and if Yi does get in the all-star game, let's just all stop watching basketball. Stern can move the entire nba over to China. Eat that. It's bad enough our own American/North American fans vote so stupidly (assuming the vote count for voting in constantly injured guys in the past was our own guys).
Biedrins is going to have a very difficult time getting in now. He's kind of cooled off and Zach Randolph and David West are turning it on.
